Hailing from Clackmannanshire, Scotland, Craig Baxter began his musical education playing the snare drum in the competitive pipe band scene. Turning his hand to the Bodhran during his time studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Craig has since become a well known name on the traditional music scene. As well as being a member of TRIP and Gnoss, Craig has played alongside the likes of Findlay MacDonalad, Donald Shaw, Karen Matheson and Project Smok.

The Winter Weekend’s team of tutors is made up of internationally renowned performers with proven track records as teachers and educationalists. The primary means of teaching and learning will be ‘by ear’ with an emphasis in the less experienced classes of assisting pupils to develop oral/aural skills in addition to instrumental competency and developing core repertoire.

All classes are designed for intermediate to advanced (minimum 2 years instrument experience) adults and children over 6 years of age, with the exception of the Traditional Singing Classes (no experience required) and Whistle & Sing.
